Books by Judea Pearl

Judea Pearl is a computer scientist and professor emeritus at UCLA who won the Turing Award in 2011, considered the highest honor in computer science, for his foundational contributions to probabilistic and causal reasoning in artificial intelligence. Born in Tel Aviv in 1936, Pearl emigrated to the United States and built a career at the intersection of statistics, AI, and philosophy of science. His technical books on probabilistic reasoning and causality are standard references in the field. The Book of Why, written with science journalist Dana Mackenzie and published in 2018, is his attempt to bring his causal framework to a general audience.
